The ambient temperature affects the power con
-
sumption and proper functioning of the device.
Therefore, the device should be in a well-venti-
lated and dry area where the ambient tempera-
ture corresponds to the climate classification, for
which the appliance is designed.
• Do not install the appliance outdoors (eg, balcony,
terrace, garden shed etc.).
• Also note the „
Tips to Save Energy
“ in the respec-
tive chapter.
Climate range:
The climate classification can be seen on the rating
plate, which is located externally on the back or in the
devices behind the vegetable drawer. In the Technical
Specifications, the climate class can also be seen. The
appliance must be positioned so that the plug is acces-
sible.
The following table shows which ambient tempera-
ture is correct for each climate class:
The air circulation on the rear wall and top edge
affects the energy consumption and the cooling /
freezing capacity (depending on model). Therefo-
re, the minimum for the ventilation of the device
ventilation cross sections must be adhered to. The-
se available in the tables and drawings listed below
refer.
